He has dedicated himself to developing his brain and thinks of himself as extremely intelligent. In the early part of the movie, Vizzini exclaims “Inconceivable!” several times, and At one point, Inigo responds, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Ingio Montoya’s words of wisdom.
What was the word in Princess Bride?
But theres this character named vincini. And his word is inconceivable. And he says inconceivable. He didnt fall. And my favorite character anigo montoya you kill my father prepare to die.
What was Inigo Montoya’s catch phrase?
The first time Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) utters his famous lines “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die”, he has just asked the Man in Black (Cary Elwes) if he has six fingers on his right hand. When a normal gloved hand is held up in response, Inigo explains his 20-year pursuit of the man who murdered his father. Having spent most of his life preparing for the moment, Inigo describes how he will utter these words when he meets the Six Fingered Man and takes his revenge. When Inigo finally confronts Count Rogen (Christopher Guest) in the climax of the film he is almost bested by him, but it is the lines hes dreamed of saying that revive him with every repetition, allowing him to overpower and finally, and oh so satisfyingly, kill the Count and get his longed-for revenge.
Inigo Montoyas iconic lines have been referenced in everything from Hellboy and Sharknado to BEN10, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory as well as The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and QI, to name just a few. His words have been emblazoned on t-shirts, coffee mugs and COVID-19 face masks, perhaps most iconically in the form of the “Hello. My Name is…” red nametag sticker which first emerged on Reddit in 2011. Heck, theres even a meme that uses his lines to help the socially inept “be good at talking”.
In 2014, the New Yorker dubbed The Princess Bride ‘The Film That Won the Internet and that is even more true now. The film has spawned countless gifs and memes, movie theatre “quote-alongs” and even a Princess Bride quote-laden episode of NFLs Kickoff. Early in 2020 a unique COVID-19 homage to the film was made for Quibi called Home Movie: Princess Bride, assembling a huge cast of beloved actors who filmed scenes at their homes to create a delightful lockdown version. Then later that year a table reading of the script with the original cast was held online to raise funds for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, irking Republican Ted Cruz, who is a well-known lover, and quoter, of the film. Ironically, Mandy Patinkin wrote an article for Time Magazine in 2015 criticising Ted Cruz for his politicisation of the film, especially given its message. Patinkin argues that the best line of the film is not Inigos vengeful creed but rather one he utters after fulfilling his 20-year mission: “You know, its very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that its over, I dont know what to do with the rest of my life.”
When you keep using that word I don’t think you know what it means?
If youve seen the classic 1987 movie The Princess Bride, you cant fail to remember the word inconceivable. The brainy Sicilian, Vizzini, overuses the word as he, Fezzik, and Inigo Montoya, stealing away with Princess Buttercup, find themselves pursued by a mysterious Man in Black. Time and again, the Man in Black overcomes obstacles to close the distance, and each time Vizzini exclaims to himself, “Inconceivable!” Eventually, Inigo Montoya objects in his heavy accent: “You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
I worry that the same could be said of the present generation of Christians who use three altogether different words—to glorify God. “To glorify God and to enjoy Him forever,” answers the child, the class, or the congregation, reciting the answer to the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. “This ministry exists to glorify God,” writes a group of founders crafting their mission statement. “I just wanted to glorify God,” explains an individual when asked about a milestone achievement. In a myriad of ways, we keep on using these words, but do we know what they mean? And if we settle into the habit of employing these words without understanding them, are we reducing them to an empty catchphrase that fails to penetrate our deepest drives and desires?
According to James Montgomery Boice, “Few words in the distinct biblical vocabulary are less understood than the word ‘glory. “1 Lets look at six ways God is glorified (the sixth may surprise you) so that we can not only understand what “to glorify God” means but set our hearts on glorifying Him.
What does Fezzik say in Princess Bride?
The great if all right yeah yeah wrong with that and laughter that was it other rocks ahead is there are you all be there no more rhymes down I mean it. Anybody want to feel it yeah.
How many times does Inigo Montoya say his famous line?
During a sword fight with Buttercups true love, Westley, Inigo shares that his father was killed years ago by a six-fingered man. He then goes on to explain one of the most memorable quotes in The Princess Bride. Inigo made it his lifes mission to become a master swordsman, find the six-fingered man, and tell him, Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. That six-fingered man turns out to be Count Tyrone Rugen, the right-hand of the evil Prince Humperdinck. Inigo eventually comes face-to-face with the man who killed his father and exacts revenge with his most memorable line, which he utters six times.
After kidnapping Princess Buttercup, Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini are followed by a mysterious Man in Black. While the others flee, Inigo is ordered to stay behind and challenge the masked man to a duel. This scene features some of the best quotes in The Princess Bride, as both men converse and compliment each other on their swordplay while trying to kill each other. Before their duel even begins, Inigo reveals that hes such a good swordsman because hes been practicing for the day he avenges his fathers death. When that day comes, he will tell his adversary, Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
While Inigo starts as a low-key villain, he quickly becomes one of the most likable bad guys in history. Even the Man in Black, who turns out to be Princess Buttercups devoted Westley, cant bring himself to kill Inigo after defeating him in the duel. Inigo has so much heart and misses his father, but hes also a tortured soul. Once he kills the man who killed his father, he will be at peace.
What was Prince Humperdinck’s famous quote?
Prince Humperdinck : sincerely Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but Ive got my countrys 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; Im swamped.
Prince Humperdinck : First things first, to the death.
Prince Humperdinck : I dont think Im quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley : Ill explain and Ill use small words so that youll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.

What is the famous line from Princess Bride?
1. Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
When people say “brave” when they mean “courageous,” or vice versa. Brave and Courageous both describe people who are able to confront pain, danger, and/or intimidation, but what makes the difference is whether or not there is a presence of fear. If they are afraid, then they’re courageous, but if they aren’t, then they’re brave.
Going to sit out the rest of this Michael Brown/Ferguson story. Here is the definition of “Justice”: a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity and fairness. Justice is not…. an eye for an eye. When you get on television and state…. “We want justice!!!”…..keep in mind that does not necessarily mean….what you think it means. #michaelbrown #fergusonshooting #wewantjustice
The word “Woke” seems to be appropriate here since people use it in alot of reviews and at this point, Ive lost all respect to them since they dont understand the full definition and use it as a way to negatively say they dislike a product and do it in a harmful poorly done unprofessional way. A lack of self-awareness and lack of understanding not everything is meant to have a poor narrative. Makes perfect sense if youve seen what happened to Willow 2022 and how fans called it such a word. Its downright abysmal and just a demonstration of how people are inconcievably showing a lack of the idea of researching what is going on and why some shows and movies tend to be bad (Willow to me is not one of them). Hard to believe this is coming from a guy who is about to see Disney+ close down 40 to 76 shows on Disney+ and Hulu and show no remorse since what Disney has done is inconcievable. Its sad isnt it?
